NeedsThe 2019 National Electronic Injury Surveillance System reported

93,388 emergency room visits due to baseball related shoulder,

elbow, trunk, lower arm, head, neck, ankle and facial injuries. When we

consider non-emergency room injuries from all age groups and skill

levels, we conclude there is a major need to teach diagnosis, treatment

and management of these injuries.

Course DescriptionThis three-day virtual course is for athletic trainers, biomechanists, physical therapists,

sports physicians, orthopaedic surgeons, physiologists, strength and conditioning

coaches, certified personal trainers and others who work with athletes in baseball.

Course Objectives:

At the conclusion of this program, the learner will be able to:

• Review current concepts associated with anatomy, biomechanics, examination

and treatment of the elbow

• Apply current advances in treatment and rehabilitation to ulnar collateral ligament

injuries

• Integrate shoulder anatomy with examination and treatment of shoulder injuries

• Apply current advances in biomechanics, treatment and rehabilitation to injuries

to the throwing shoulder

• Review current advances in the rehabilitation of injuries to the throwing shoulder

Course Location:

LIVE Webinar
